Hello all,

A woman who works with me and is waiting to get her band, has graciously opened her home for meetings for bandsters on Tuesday, March 3rd. the time will be 6:30 P.M.

This will be an introductory meeting, where we talk about where we are, whether it is pre or post op, and any issues that anyone might want to share.

In the future, we can choose specific topics for discussion.

You may contact Ellendette, who is a member of this forum. Her cell number is (818) 512-8894

Below are directions to Marissa San Martin's home, as well as her home phone number.

Anyone is welcome, not just valley folk.

Hope to see you Tuesday

! And feel free to pm me as well.

Marissa's Home number is (818) 859-7524

My new address is:

707 E Orange Grove Ave, Apt E

Burbank, CA 91501

DIRECTIONS TO THE HOUSE (HEADING NORTH ON THE 5):

North on the 5, exit Olive Street. Follow the exit to the right which puts you on Angelino Street. Go straight all the way down until you hit Seventh Street

(into the neighborhood area, past San Fernando, Glenoaks and Sixth). Take a right on Orange Grove and then park where you can (anywhere in that intersection).

ONCE YOU ARRIVE:

It is on the Northwest Corner of Orange Grove and Seventh Streets. The second house on the left. There are a bunch of really tall trees in a line next to

the drive way and a huge Water wheel out front. Follow the trees to pass through the gate. My apartment is all the way down at the end on the second floor.

Up the stairs. There is only one set of stairs there :)

DIRECTIONS TO THE HOUSE (HEADING SOUTH ON THE 5):

South on the 5, exit Verdugo. At the light go LEFT and follow the curve around to the left. Continue straight on Verdugo until you hit Seventh Street (into

the neighborhood area, past San Fernando, Glenoaks and Sixth). Take a right on Orange Grove and then park where you can (anywhere in that intersection).

ONCE YOU ARRIVE:

It is on the Northwest Corner of Orange Grove and Seventh Streets. The second house on the left. There are a bunch of really tall trees in a line next to

the drive way and a huge wooden Water wheel out front. Follow the trees to pass through the gate. My apartment is all the way down at the end on the second

floor. Up the stairs. There is only one set of stairs there :thumbup:

DIRECTIONS TO THE HOUSE (FROM ST. JOE'S):

From St. Joe's: Take Alameda past Buena Vista towards the 5 Freeway forever. Pass the 5 freeway, pass San Fernando, Pass Glenoaks, go into the neighborhood

area all the way til you hit Kenneth. Take a left on Kenneth. Take Kenneth for a bit passing Verdugo and Olive. The next street go Left on Orange Grove.

You will then see the house as the second to last house on the right hand side, within the same block. If you hit Seventh Street, you have gone too far.

Park anywhere around there.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
